IGOSSIP OF A DAY. J “T«m nany Is the most powerful po lical organization in the world,” said Col. D. B. Hamilton yesterday He has just returned from New York where he remained daring the recent election. •‘I looked into the methods of Tamma ny” he continued ‘'and I feel sure that no independent movement can ever win against such perfect organization. Van WVck is a man of back-bone and a southerner, too. He has blessed out Tam nany once before. I believe he will make a good mayor. “Croker and Platt, I believe from all I heard, have an agreement by which the former is to control the city and the later the state. The corpo rations were down on Low for fear he would not grant them franchises. Tracy was simply the tool of Platt. ” Col. Hamilton comes home wearing a Van Wyck button. Knowing his interest in the Indianapolis conven tion and the fact that he was a Pal mer and Buckner elector for Georgia, a Tribune reporter asked him about his position on the subject. He said: “I am convinced that there is room for only two great political parties in this country. All differences should be settled in the party. The gold standard advocates must go to eitb°r the democratic or republican parties. In my opinion the next democratic COL. D. B. HAMILTON. convention will declare for currency reform and bimetallism. I believe in bimetallism, but not at the ratio of sixteen to one. If the democrats all get together we Will have a great vic tory next time. “The vote in New York City was cast under the Australian ballot sys tem. It is perfect. As far as I could see no voter could be bought, or in timidated. Nearly all the states have adopted it and Georgia should, too. “I was in the New York law offices of Donald Harper several times, and he certainly has a brilliant career ahead of him. The foremost men of the nation consult his firm daily. He has taken a high stand among the New York lawyers.” Floyd county’s members of the legist lature a-e taking a high stand. Captain Reece and Mr. Nevin were both up to spend Sunday. Mr. Nevin has intro duced several bills which are creating much discussion. Mr Ennis has not been up recently.

It ought to be the // I fr’WHr rule * nstea( i °fthe excep- j ypagrw tion ; and it is a fact that i ( a very large proportion °i the usual pain and suf feting maybe avoided by looking after the mother’s general health, and specially strengthening the particular organs concerned in parturition. Many mothers have been brought through the trying time almost painlessly by the aid of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It prepares the system for delivery by im parting the organic strength and elasticity which the mother specially needs; shortens the time of labor and of confinement; pro motes the secretion of abundant nourish ment for the child and fortifies the entire constitution against the after period of de pression and weakness. It’s use should begin in the early months of gestation—the earlier the better. Mrs. Fred Hunt, of Glenville, Schenectady Co., N. y., says : " I rya.i about Dr. Pierce’s Favorite ' Prescription being so good for a woman with child, so I got two bottles last September, and December 13th, I had a twelve-pound baby girl. When I was confined I was not sick in any way. I did not suffer any pain, and when the child was born I walked into another room and went to bed. I never had an after-pain or any other pain. This is the eighth child and the largest Os them all. I suffered everything that flesh could suffer with the other babies. I always had a doctor and then he could not help me very much, but this time my mother and my husband were alone with me. My baby was only seven days old when I got up and dressed aud left my room and stayed up all day." passed through Rome en route to and from his home. He thinks that had it not beet, for flve-cent cotton the legisla ture would have adopted the Hall bill. He now thinks the convicts will be leased again. Senator Wesley Shropshire spent Sun day in the city with his family. “I once saw the most peculiar method of thrashing wheat, I think, that 's used anywhere in the world,” said Mr. Dennis Hills, an old Floyd county boy, but who has been a citizen of New Orleans for miny years. “It was while I was mak i >g a trip through Mexico several years ago. My business carried me to the hacienda of a wealthy Mexican some dis tance removed both from any town or railroad. I noticed immense wneat fields in the shock as I arrived. “That night my host asked me if I did not want to see them thrash wheat. I assented, and we went forth. The moon shone in a cloudless sky with almost the brilliance of day. I expected of course, to see a great steam thrashing machine, because the rancher was a man of im mense wealth, and no little refinement. “But we arrived on the scene at last, and there the strangest sight I ever wit nessed confronted me. They had erected a very large circular coral, the fl ior of which was smooth stone. The sides were partly stone ard partly planking. In this coral was heaped great quantities of wheat in the s raw. As we came up about fifty head of wild, untamed Mexi can mules were turned. Attached to the tail of one of them was a raw hide drum filled with pebbles. The noise was most terrifying, and those little animals raced about over the loose wheat straw in a frantic manner most ludicious to behold. And it was thus that their wheat was hr ashed. The wild mules trampled it out beneath their flying feet.” Prof. E G. Romig, the aeronaut, has abandoned his skyward trips, for the time being at least, and a few days ago sold his old balloon for the insignificant consideration of 50 cents. The miterial for the balloon originally cost about $l5O, and Romig did all the work of forming it into an aerial vessel. For over ten years has he made aeronautics his pro fession, and during that time has made 1,400 ascensions. Only once did behave anything like a thrilling escape, and that was by descending into a dead tree, i whose gaunt, bare limbs upreared like great spikes in the air. By sheer luek (which one is persuaded to believe, sometimes, is better than riches) he came down all right, but those few seconds of imminent danger left their traces on [ Romig—streaks of gray through his locks. About five years ago Romig con ceived the idea of taking Jennie Yan Yan, the monkey up with him. At first he took her on the bar along side of him. She didn’t fancy it much at first, but was so lost in amazement that she made no trouble. The fear finally wore off, and Jennie b egan making the journey on her own para chute. Now nothing pleases her so well as to take the quick flights into the clouds, and the journey back to earth. Sunday was an ideal Indian sum mer day. The churches all had a a very large attendance —somehow a bright, sunshiny Sabbath always ciuses more people to attend worship than on other occasions The failure of the electric cars to do service, in convenienced many, but very nearly everybody was out during the after noon. Those who had or could hire vehicles drove out in the country where the woods were decked in their glory of scarlet and gold and all the kaleidoscopic colors that go up to make them objects for poet’s, song. Bicy diets, too, were out in full force whirling along the smooth pikes. Those not so fortunate as to possess either mode of travel, were content to walk. _ ABOUT VON GAMMON.
